I have a Huawei Watch and it seems to keep connection with my S6 just fine. I however have issues with every other bluetooth device at times. I have a shower speaker/phone, car 1 bluetooth phone + audio, Car 2 bluetooth phone only, and car 2 bluetooth music gateway. All of these have issues.
I can't get the S6 to connect some times so I have to turn bluetooth off then back on. Sometimes that works, but sometimes I have to restart the whole phone for it to work. Does anyone else have similar bluetooth issues? It is driving me nuts.
Hi, has anyone run into this?
I'm used to play music from my phone to my car (Toyota Auris hybrid) over Bluetooth. Worked good with my LG G4 but with the Mate 9 it miserable fails. BT connects but it won't play anything.
There's loads of forum messages around since nougat came out, it seems to be an android 7.0 problem that seems to be solved in 7.11
Do you guys have successfully streamed in your cars over BT? Please let us know!

I'll test it when mine arrives as I use bluetooth also.
Some other info, it really seems to be widespread and only with cars. Will check if calling actually works, I was so busy with music I forgot to check.
Btw, I have a Pebble time steel and that now has a better and more stable BT connection across a longer distance than with the lg g4.
Update next day:
Car/phone BT connection is fine.
Audio suddenly worked after a few tries but no tags visible. Much in line with what others say. Really erratic behavior.
Same for my BT speaker, perfect connection.
Another update: It played audio only once. After some more digging on other forums it seems that Android 7 is the issue. A lot of cars won't play audio over BT anymore or just handle the stream only now and than. The connection is there, the song is playing on the phone, it streams to the car but there's no sound. Oddly when you receive a phone call there's no prob whatsoever.

My Nexus 6P on RRemix rom rooted with Marshmallow does this with 2017 Audi A4. Only thing that makes it come back is to hit the bluetooth icon in notification tray off and back on, and it syncs back up with sound. Try that? It might be a Huawei bug?
I had a similar issue on my mate 8. Spotify worked but deezer didn't in relation to showing what's playing etc.. it's likely to be nougat 7 as I've got a pixel xl and no issues with 7.1 at all over Bluetooth to my car. Looking at a mate 9 though as I miss the bigger screen

I have had issues with my S7 Edge where everything connects up and all seems normal but when it plays it either delays before sound works right out of car speakers or you have to do a dance of connecting and reconnecting before sounds works properly. Also think I recall similar glitching with my previous car and my previous android phone but maybe it was previous phone (Nexus 6P) and current car (2015 Nissan Murano Platinum). Only regularly ever play podcasts in car from Beyond Pod app, BTW. Occasionally play something off YouTube but don't recall it glitching.

I have a Japanese 2014 Mazda Demio, and my Chinese Mate 9 (MHA-AL00C00B109SP01) connected, played music no problem, over bluetooth. The artist/song name shows up. But it doesn't support browsing the song library like the iPhone or Galaxy S7 did.
I also have issues to connect my mate 9 to my car (Renault Laguna 3 from 2011). I simply do not succeed to connect the phone to the car: when I try to connect, my car gives me a 4 digits pin number to enter into my phone to establish the connection, I try to connect to my car from the mobile, the box to enter the 4 digits opens and closes before I have the time to enter the digits with a connection error message.
I suspect a software bug on the bt connection with pin validation on the mate side. I can connect without issue to a standard Bluetooth speaker.
I think some cars, maybe many, just have suck computer systems. It is why I always laugh at the idea of self driving cars - like these same morons that make these terrible in car computer systems will be worth trusting to drive you around.

I also have issue on Bluetooth with my Renault Megane 2009
I had to choose nomade device to pair my mate and I have some problem on mp3 play-back that suddenly stop where has it continue on music player.
It seems to be better since I install A2DP switcher from playstore but don't know why
So I have had this issue since I got the phone yesterday and just got it working in my 2012 Toyota Tundra.
Settings > Apps > hit the 3 dots > Show system processes > Bluetooth Share > Force stop, clear data. After that try pairing your device, mine has stayed connect with frequent breaks for 5 hours today
No issues with 2 of my vehicles.
I'm having no issues at all. I'm connecting to a Tune2Air bluetooth adapter ('11 A4 doesn't support Bluetooth streaming).
same issue with Pioneer Android Auto unit.
Sometimes it works out of the box, sometimes music plays (as per screen indicators) but no music, sometimes music plays for split second and stops.
disabling/enabling BT helps
no issues when phone is connected over usb with android auto
Same thing with me as well. I have reached out to Huawei but no response. I have a US version
Just got a new Huawei Mate 9 from Optus Australia. It would not connect to my car bluetooth although it would connect to two bluetooth speakers I have. Optus technical support finally resolved the issue by changing the car bluetooth PIN from 1111 to 0000. Looks like a Huawei bug in that it can only connect to devices without a PIN or with a PIN of 0000. Checked my speakers and one has no PIN and the other has 0000 as the PIN. Hopefully Huawei will fix this.
I have a recent Japanese Mazda, as well as a gear s3 or a Huawei watch connected at the same time, and no issues with Bluetooth at all with any recent Huawei firmwares.
My Fabia plays over BT just fine, Android Auto plays it fine too.

I previously reported no issues, but now BT is very problematic. For me, it seems, the issue stems from multiple connections. Before I needed two bluetooth connections in my car: one to the car itself for phone calls, and one to a BT adapter to stream music to the car's audio system. A couple months ago, I added a Huawei watch to the mix, and things went south. Typically I'll put my watch on in the morning and it will connect to the phone no problem. But when I get in my car, it doesn't want to connect: the car itself is not connected at all, the phone reports that it's connected to the BT streaming adapter, but no music plays through it. If I turn off BT on the phone and turn it back on, typically that will fix the streaming, but not the phone call connection. The phone will report that both the streaming adapter and the watch are connected, but not the car. If I click on the car connection, it will then connect. The watch connection in the list with then lose the "connected" status, but strangely, it stays connected.
So, I can't get three devices to say "connected" in the BT device list simultaneously, BUT if I turn BT off then back on when all three devices are available, THEN manually connect the car connection, all three will work, even though only two of them will say "connected".
Running the AT&T Variant and though audio and controls work fine in my car once paired the phone is not pairing upon seeing my car stereo.
My LG V10 worked flawlessly in this regard, usually withing 10 seconds of starting the car.
I've tried bluetooth auto connect and tasker but they only work if I toggle bluetooth while the car is on.
If I toggle bluetooth without either of those installed I just get the pop up showing there is a device available and it has about a 30% success rate at connecting.
There is also an issue every few times where even if it connects the skip buttons do not work and no track title is displayed.
It won't connect to my BMW at all!!! What a holy crap.

I tried Samsung Music and Play Music. I verified Media Audio under BT was enabled. Mercedes Benz 45 AMG.
I have a Toyota and it connects flawlessly, T-Mobile variant. I can even go to the car while it's in the garage and leave my phone in the house and it's still connected to the car.
Strange, mine connects instantly (Ford Falcon - Aussie car).
Mine will connect with my car (Kenwood unit) flawlessly. I have to fiddle with it in my other car (Jeep with UConnect), while the wife's S7 works with both.
I've yet to figure out how to get it to auto open Pandora or anything when it connects. My Note 4 and LG V20 both did this seamlessly
Appears to be a "known" issue with S8 - see this thread : https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...id/GS8QA/highlight/false/page/1/thread-id/299

I've tried so many times. even reset cache, Bluetooth cache etc. It adding and then disappearing from both- car and phone. I think it is got something to do with contact sharing but this box never pop out.
I had this problem with the S6 and my HTC Stereoclip (BT to AUX adapter for cars), I had to manually pair it every-time and it was one of the reason why I came back to HTC, now I got the S8 and apparently it's the same problem.
Some BT devices auto-connect but not others
As long as I've had this phone (January or so), this phone has been extremely flakey with my car's Bluetooth stereo. It connects within about 30 seconds of turning on the car, as usual, and displays a status showing connected. But when I actually try to play an audio file (usually a podcast, sometimes music, sometimes initiate a phone call), the BT connection dies, and the car stereo shows "No audio connection detected". I then have to wait another 30 seconds or so to try again.
This happened maybe 50% of the time when I got the phone, but since the Oreo update I feel like it's up to 85% of the time. It's only the first attempt--subsequent connections are usually fine. Nonetheless, it's driving me nuts. I've had four Android phones over the past seven years (including a Galaxy S2) and none of them ever had an issue with the stereo before this one.
Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this?
try forgetting the device in car bluetooth settings
You could trying pairing your S8 with another car. This will help you establish whether the issue is with the car or the phone. You could also try to Reset Network Settings
very strange thing.
skoda car, i've used for 2 week without any problems the call when connected via BT to the car system.
but now every call i make or receive, both I and the responder/speaker, hear only a big noise.
Tried with another smartphone and no issue, but very strange if i connect the xiaomi to a BT ears no problems at all, if i connect the xiaomi to a BT speaker no problems at all...
I have already tried,:
-delete and reconnect the phone to the car
-reboot the phone
-manage the bt option on the phone, disable AAC and absolute volume
I have to try the xiaomi with another car....
any suggestion?
android auto isn't connected but it's possible that interfere with something else?
Many thanks

Hello. Any updates on the topic?
Let me add my story here too. The thing is- my phone is mi note 10 lite.
Here it goes. So, recently, about a week or 2 ago the Bluetooth audio stopped working completely on my device. I don't understand where to look, and how did it happen. The phone was global official rom, locked bootloader no root etc.
The situation is as follows : the headphones /car audio system can connect and pair. But there's no sound when you press the play button. Moreover, the Bluetooth works, at least I think it works also because I have a huawei watch connected to the phone. And I have notifications everything is fine.
So during these 2 weeks I tried to clear cache/bt and wifi settings (no need to tell you that my headphones connect and play music with no problems with other devices. Tried on my wife's p20 pro.) i tried to make factory reset. No results. Today I even rolled back on android 11 rom from 2021. Offcical rom. Sadly nothing changed. Everything works perfectly, except Bluetooth audio.
Have redmi buds 4 pro and amazfit powerbuds. With my phone they connect but no audio. With huawei p20 pro they connect and work how they should. Also they have no problems with my mi tab 5.
Don't know what to do.
